I believe you mean SMTP AUTH, SNMP AUTH is an entirely different
thing. You might try postfix (I think www.postfix.org, but freshmeat
can find it for sure). It apparently supports SASL authentication for
it's server/client. I haven't used it though, and you would have to
build the package and read the README_FILES/SASL_README for
directions.

Another option is to use ssh port forwarding. Forward your local smtp
port to your server's smtp port. It basically ends up behaving like
your sending mail locally from your server. I've done this with Mac OS
(8 or 9 with a third part ssh client, although OS X should work even
easier) before and with Linux with no problems.

Another option is to just send mail from your local machine. I
generally do this with my notebook (ydl). Send outgoing mail from my
notebook and receive incoming at the server I use.
